Polytetraflouroethylene (TFE) and Kynar - PVDF are both on allocation.

TFE sheet  products, PTFE (TFE) and PVDF  manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar that is mined in Mongolia and China. The world requirement for this mineral has increased significantly, additionally, the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high heat resistance, excellent chemical resistance and extremely low co-efficient of friction (slippery) and is utilized throughout dozens of purposes from non-stick fry pots and pans to ptfe tape for personal use. This specific mineral is actually the key raw materials in the manufacturing of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and lots of refrigerants.This rise in demand coupled with general shortage of raw materials has caused a dramatic price increase (almost double over the last year), shortages, and we expect these two factors to continue in the near future.

Why are there Teflon and PVDF extended delivery

Within the last year, the industry has experienced more challenges than I have seen during my thirty years experience. In the past I have seen sharp price increases, and I have witnessed several shortages, and delivery issues because of plastic resin allocations by resin manufacturers. This is actually the first instance I have seen all these issues at the same time. PTFE Rod (TFE) and Kynar are both on allocation. Both of these resins are in short supply. The  PTFE Sheet product PTFE (TFE) and Kynar  manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar that is mined in Mongolia and China. The world requirement for this mineral has risen significantly, as well as supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high temperature resistance, excellent chemical resistance and incredibly low co-efficient of friction (slippery) and is used throughout dozens of purposes from non-stick fry pots and pans to ptfe tape for use at home. This specific mineral is actually a crucial raw materials inside the...
